Tiny Giants is a celebration of all things small but mighty, and the sometimes strange but always wonderful world of invertebrates. Also home to a new coral reef tank, this indoor experience is one not to be missed.

Lion cubs playing - The lion cubs were so active, on our last visit they were suckling from their Mum, this time they were exploring and playing. Even people watching. Many young animals, birds and even smaller creatures with young to see on this visit. Many precious young which are part of important international breeding programmes. Good range of feeding facilities for people as well. Overall a very pleasing, even exciting place to visit.

Wonderful day out at the zoo - Fantastic day out at the zoo. It's huge, so you need to allow 5-6 hours if you want to see everything. Amazing enclosures where you can walk with the animals. Pretty good restaurants where there are many options and short queues. Book tickets online in advance.

LOVED THE BUGS ! - The mini beast house was definitely my favourite part of all of the zoo experience, it was so fun to get so up close to so many cool little guys! Amazing selection of a wide range of bugs and critters. Though I wish there was more bug stuff in the gift shop! I want a giant beetle to cuddle now!

Love the London Zoo - I’ve been several times. I’m back in September and want to see about doing the primate (gorilla) experience. Has anyone done that?

School trip - Visited on a school trip. Staff were helpful and really looking after the animals. Wasn’t too busy despite being the first day of the school holidays for other schools. The zoo is smaller than I expected but still nice. Perhaps not an all day attraction but a few good hours. Overall it was a lovely school trip

Zoo nights, busy atmosphere with many drunk people - We went to the Zoo Nights experience and it was a little disappointing. The staff on the doors and security were incredibly rude and rushed us around many times. Once entering we went to get a drink from the small drinks stand, near the spider monkeys, the staff were completely unorganised and the prices were expensive. We saw a fair amount of animals which was lovely however there was so much crowding and queues for absolutely everything. In all, the whole experience was super rushed and we did not have nearly enough time to see all the animals we wished to see. By the end of the evening, most of the adults there seemed completely drunk running around and yelling, one man in particular was shouting close to the giraffe enclosure which immediately scared the giraffes. Most people seemed to be just drinking and causing mayhem as opposed to viewing the animals. To end on a positive note, the keepers around the zoo were so lovely, super informative and very friendly. The main square it seemed had live music surrounded by fairy lights which was really nice.

Bad manners - This was my first visit to London Zoo since around the late eighties. I was interested to see what the zoo was like after all that time. For me, first impressions count. To say I was unimpressed by the initial customer service experience would be a massive understatement. (booth 4 around 12.40pm 16th July) Zero acknowledgement, just scanned my ticket. I didn't get a 'hello' 'have you been before?" NOTHING. I wasn't given a map. Appalling that someone in a customer facing role thinks that this is acceptable. Moving on....... The zoo itself I found a little underwhelming. Guess my expectations were a little high. There is a good selection of enclosures but unfortunately lots of the animals were not visible. The zoo was busy, lots of school parties (nothing against kids but teachers shouting in my ear yeah not my favourite) but it's always possible to veer off to a more quieter spot if need be. The zoo was nice enough but based on my experience I wouldn't rush back.

Love for animals - It was a very nicely laid out zoo, although a little confusing. Not too many animals, but they seemed well cared for. Nice for children.

London zoo is ok, will give a miss in the future. - Attending London zoo late, I am an annual pass holder however had to pay for entry because seen as separate event. On the day, I had a terrible headache and had paracetamol and water in my bag. Upon entry I was told I could not bring in my water, which was a surprise because I usually walk up with a Starbucks in my hand with no issues and because the person opposite me who also had water was allowed to bring hers in. The food and drink was overpriced, it was very overcrowded with queues for all walk through. It’s not worth it, if you can avoid the late events and attend the normal entry.

Saw 3 animals, waste of money - This zoo is so bad, it was absolutely rammed, you expect a few school trips at this kind of place but there were SO many schools and colleges there, it was uncomfortably busy. You couldn't see any animals because of the crowds and once we eventually got to the window, there weren't even any animals in half of the enclosures. Disappointing the snack shacks and face painting were closed too. It's great if you want a long walk but other than that it is so boring. Do not waste your money.
